Little Polar Bear and the Big Balloon

Lars, the Little Polar Bear, spends his days watching the seagulls circling overhead and dreams of flying in the sky like a bird. One day, he meets a lost puffin who cannot fly home because his wings are sticky with oil. Always ready to help a friend in need, Lars takes the little puffin to the healing waters of the hot spring, where they discover a huge hot-air balloon. At last, it seems that Lars's dream of exploring the sky will come true! Paperback, ages 4-8, 32pp.
